The Dubel IPA has been bottled… it needed a little extra pasteurization, which I think has inspired me to come up with a name…
“The Mess Double India Pale Ale”
It lives up to its name… before pasteurizing, three quarters of every bottle was foam… and the heavy hopping combined with no filtration leaves what looks like a miniature wet pile of leaves at the bottom of every glass…
We are very pleased with the results, but next year, we filter… Derek compared the potable to a famous brew called Pliny the Elder…
Also, no VD Porter this year… I figure the year is almost up any how, and I’d rather try something different…
So, thinking about a Stout with heavy coffee notes and lots of chocolate… something extremely heavy… think Mitch’s Mud with a pair of big boy pants on… We’ll call it “Mythological Mitch”… expect notes and news sometime in January, after the surgery…
Otherwise, nothing new to report… you may now resume your regularly scheduled day…
I would like to make a reservation for one mythilogical mitch, thanks
oh? Scooty says woof!
I would like a taste of mead, please. Thanks, love Auntie R
Well if you do make it, it won’t be a myth anymore , will it?
Dang it, Mitchell… I’m trying to create a dark and mysterious atmosphere here…
